Today we received an invitation to lecture at Ohio State University School of Architecture in the Fall. What an honor!!!! I guess my father was right when he said "Nobody becomes a prophet in his homeland". We are all excited and of course we have lessons to share with architecture students, not only about getting projects done, surviving in a mercurial economy, but most importantly to safeguard the ideals and aspirations which empowered us to pursue this noble profession. It will not be like Randy Pausch "Last Lecture" at Carnegie Mellon, since we will not have to introduce the elephant sitting in the room, but rather it will be about team-work, when a Client, Architect, Engineers and Contractors come together to join forces to build a project that most likely will out-lived them, in the hope that at some point in time, people will look beyond the obvious systems, realize that they are witnessing the legacy of a dream, in which all parties came together and gave the project their all.
